A municipal bowling*green in the public park may, to some people, sound like a luxury. But thesx> days of luxuries. The macadamised (street if? a luxury. The street lamps are a luxury. The water supply is, to some extent, a luxury. The library is a luxury. Municipal bowling-greens are provided in many towns r >nd hamlets in the Old Country, and are immensely popular. They bring the fascinating and" healthful sport within the ror-Ii of all sections of the co*m.rftunity. They are a source of attraction to visitors.
